As summer reaches its peak, the community is preparing for a day dedicated to one of our most vital natural partners: the pollinator. On Saturday, August 29, 2026, the second annual Glengarry Honey and Pollinator Festival will take over Island Park and the Glen Sandfield Pavilion in Alexandria, offering a look at the essential work happening right in our own backyards.
This year’s festival continues the mission of highlighting sustainable agriculture and local biodiversity. It’s an opportunity for residents to meet the people behind our local food systems—from beekeepers tending to their hives to farmers committed to organic and regenerative practices.
The event is designed to be accessible to everyone, with free admission that ensures all families can join in the learning and discovery. Attendees can expect a curated selection of vendors, each chosen for their direct connection to agriculture and pollinator health. You’ll find local honey, beeswax goods, and native plants perfect for creating your own pollinator-friendly garden, alongside educational opportunities that explain the “why” behind the work.
Beyond the marketplace, the festival serves as a reminder of our collective responsibility to the environment. Whether you are interested in the intricacies of beekeeping or simply want to support local, artisanal makers, this event provides a clear, practical look at how we can foster a healthier landscape together.
Mark your calendars for August 29. It is shaping up to be an informative and engaging day that celebrates the hard work of our local producers and the pollinators that make it all possible.
